ABSTRACT
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most prevalent acyanotic congenital heart diseases. Percutaneous closure of PDA has been the preferred treatment recommended by the guidelines due to relatively low complications and rapid patient recovery. However, device emboli remain the most frequent and disastrous complication, necessitating percutaneous or surgical treatment. We present a case of a large PDA closure in pulmonary arterial hypertension paediatric patients complicated with device emboli that was successfully retrieved using the snaring technique. Transcatheter retrieval, although technically challenging, is a feasible treatment and offers the advantage of avoiding the need for surgical intervention.
